GREEN BAY, Wis. -- General manager Ted Thompson and contract negotiator Russ Ball went to work early on the Green Bay Packers' upcoming free agent class, and so far they have re-signed two key defensive players -- Mike Daniels and Letroy Guion.
That’s a departure from last offseason, when they didn’t get any deals done until the days before free agency opened in March.
Last year, they signed receiver Randall Cobb and tackle Bryan Bulaga during the three-day negotiation period right before the free-agent market opened. The rest of their signings followed in the weeks to come.
